Pop up Vendor Tix for 10th Annual Death Faire Revival

Welcome to the 10th Annual Death Faire Revival!

Step into a day unlike any other as the gates swing open at 11:00 am for a soul-stirring celebration of life, death, and everything in between. From the Opening Ceremony with Laura “Cherokee Water Pourer” McKelvey to an unforgettable Ceremonial Grief Concert by Aditi Sethi, the day is alive with music, movement, and meaning. Wander between the Main Stage, Little Pond Stage, Wheelhouse, and Gazebo—or lose yourself in the colorful Kids Area, Gallery, and Altar. Paint sugar skulls, join the drum circle with the Paperhand Puppets, or explore nature with Leif Diamant. Discover powerful conversations in the Green Room, from planning your own funeral to a community-supported end-of-life panel and grief rituals. As afternoon turns to evening, let your heart be lifted by the soul-stirring performance of Nneena Freelon, Pierce Freelon & Musicians, before Laura McKelvey closes the day with prayers and a warm reception. This is not just an event—it's an experience that will stay with you long after the music fades.
